Make Every Moment Count
Technology should free our time, but instead it consumes it. Notifications splinter attention, feeds steal minutes that become hours, calendars collapse days, and "later" keeps winning. Moment is designed to help you slow down and reflect on your most precious asset: time.
Count Every Moment
Moment makes time tangible again. See your lifespan, including your remaining years, based on actuarial data. Time together shows your overlap with the people and pets you love. The constant ticking down is not meant to frighten you, but to give every moment the weight it deserves.
Carry Wisdom Forward
Each day Moment surfaces a timeless quote on life, time, or mortality. The quote isn't just inspiration, it becomes the seed for a micro-journaling prompt, asking you to reflect and respond in your own words. A few lines a day are enough to slow down, gain perspective, and carry the thought into how you live.
“Remember that you are an actor in a play, the nature of which is up to the director to decide. If he wants the play to be short, it will be short; if he wants it long, it will be long.”— Epictetus

Backed by Research, Rooted in Tradition
Moment integrates modern psychology and ancient contemplative traditions that encourage people to remember their mortality.
Research shows that reflecting on death can actually increase happiness, deepen gratitude, and help people focus on what truly matters. Studies have found that contemplating mortality can make people more attuned to positive emotions¹, motivate prosocial behavior like helping others², and even improve health choices³. And the reflection practices can be simple: journaling, meditation, or small reminders.
Traditional practices like Buddhist maranasati (mindfulness of death) or the Stoic habit of memento mori aren't meant to be morbid. They are timeless ways to sharpen appreciation for the present. Contemporary studies of death-focused meditation confirm that it can reduce death anxiety and increase mindfulness and self-compassion⁴. Long-term studies have also shown that rituals like grave visitations are linked to lower depression and apathy in older adults⁵.
Moment builds on this lineage, using small, structured reflections to create awareness of life's impermanence, break through distractions with urgency, and impart clarity, presence, and meaning.
